The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

No matter how tired he was, Lu Bu's habit of getting up early did not change. He got up carefully and looked at Yan Danchen, who was still asleep. With a smile on his beautiful face, he helped Yan Danchen cover himself with a quilt and quietly went out.

"The seven-round battle last night was really tiring. I have never been this tired after fighting for so many years." Lu Bu touched his waist, mounted the red rabbit horse, and ran towards the military camp.

Along the way, Chitu Ma felt that his master was not in good condition today, so he did not dare to let go. He carefully carried Lu Bu forward, "Old man, you better understand me. I will give you extra food tonight." Lu Bu touched her gently. With the red rabbit and horse, they have established a deep relationship over the years.

When they arrived at the military camp, Cao Xing saw Lu Bu coming so early. He smiled mischievously and said, "My lord got married yesterday and he came here so early today. I'm not afraid of my sister-in-law being angry."

"You are getting older and younger. I will punish you by running around the school grounds ten times and meeting me in the tent after you run." Lu Bu cursed and entered the military tent. Cao Xing, this kid, has become a general. It's still so small, it should be polished and polished.

"Boping, are all the horses ready for Cao Cao?" Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction when he saw Gao Shun waiting in the military tent early in the morning.

"Brother, don't worry. According to your instructions, I have selected 3000 good horses and removed the saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes." Gao Shun said.

"Well done, these three treasures of war horses can only be owned by me and the state army, and cannot be spread out. The new ordnance has been distributed to the garrison in each county." Lu Bu said.

"The armaments brought back by my eldest brother from Luoyang are enough for 100,000 people. Dong Zhuo is really generous." Gao Shun said.

"Isn't that what your eldest brother did I exchange for the little emperor and King Chen Liu? By the way, from now on, the food in the army must be salted. It's not good to always eat light food. After all, the training is so hard. And there are those who have a lot of iron Forge some Mo Dao and make sure everyone in the army has one." Lu Bu said.

"My little brother has written it down, but if you eat this salt with every meal, there will be no salt available in the army within half a year. I am worried that the soldiers will have strong tastes by then, and the food that they could eat before will taste bland." Gao Shun Somewhat worried.

"I'll think of a solution for this. Do you know where the salt is?" Lu Bu asked.

"The Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued a decree that salt could only be produced by the imperial court. So currently there are private salts in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, but the price is so high that it is comparable to gold." Gao Shun replied.

"What if I exchange war horses with them? Qingxu Province does not produce horses. Do you think it is feasible for me to exchange a horse for a cart of salt?" Lu Bu asked.

"Brother, this is a good idea, but who is going to carry out this transaction? The officers and soldiers in the army are all from the army, but they do not have the ability in this area." Gao Shun said.

"Don't worry, second brother, there is someone who is absolutely suitable. I will go find him right away." After that, Lu Bu rode out of the camp, but Cao Xing was still running. "Don't be lazy!" Hearing Lu Bu's shout, Cao Xing ran again. When he got up, he loved and feared Lu Bu, his lord.

After a while, Lu Bu arrived at Yan's house, "Is your father-in-law here?"

"My uncle is here, please take a seat quickly. What's the matter with my sudden visit?" When Mr. Yan saw Lu Bu arriving, he hurriedly asked him to sit down.

"My son-in-law heard that my father-in-law did business in Xuzhou when he was young. I wonder if he knows anyone who is engaged in private salt trading." Lu Bu asked.

"Yes, yes, the Mi family in Xuzhou has the largest private salt farm, but the price is very high, comparable to gold." Old Yan replied.

"This son-in-law knows that he came to see his father-in-law today because he has something to ask for. He wants to exchange horses for private salt. Does father-in-law think that is possible?" Lu Bu asked.

"Exchanging horses for salt is a good idea. I think it's feasible." Mr. Yan nodded in agreement.

"My son-in-law would like to trouble my father-in-law to make a trip. I wonder if my father-in-law can help me join the state army." Lu Bu said.

"My dear son-in-law, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that my legs were diseased when I was young and I can't travel far." There was a bit of regret in Yan Lao's tone.

Seeing that Lu Bu was a little disappointed, Yan's father quickly said, "But I can recommend one person. He is my nephew, his name is Wei Xu. He has always wanted to join the army, but his riding and archery ability did not pass the test, so he was not selected for the Bingzhou Army. Can my virtuous son-in-law help me?" Give him a chance."

"Okay, okay. I will definitely use Danchen's cousin. I'll call him as soon as possible." Through the memories of later generations, Lu Bu knew that Wei Xu was also one of the eight talented generals in Bingzhou.

"He is a guest at the old man's house. I will go and call him right away. The good son-in-law will sit down for a moment," said Mr. Yan.

A young man in his early twenties came out of the inner hall. He was less than six feet tall. No wonder he failed the riding and shooting test. It was difficult to get on the horse. The recruits were not equipped with stirrups. During the test, they all relied on their own abilities. As soon as the man saw Lu Bu, he bowed to him, "Wei Xu greets my brother-in-law."

"Please get up. I heard that you want to join our Bingzhou Army." Lu Bu helped Wei Xu up.

"Joining the Bingzhou Army has been my dream since I was a child, but I have failed the five-year conscription examination. Brother-in-law, can you help me?" Although Wei Xu is not tall, he is very impressive!

"Now there is an opportunity for you to join the Bingzhou Army, but it will require a long and hard journey. Are you willing?" Lu Bu said.

"I do! As long as I can join the Bingzhou Army, I am willing to suffer no matter how hard it is." Wei Xu was so excited when he heard that he could realize his childhood ideal.

"Okay, from today on, you will be a member of my Bingzhou Army. You will serve as the commander of another department, commanding thousands of troops, and be responsible for the smuggling of horses and salt in Bingzhou and Xuzhou." Lu Bu said.

"Thank you, my lord!" Wei Xu thanked Lu Bu.

"Ding dong, the host has completed a special task and won the eight top talents in the state. As a reward, he will be rewarded with a bag of corn seeds." The voice of the system appeared in his ears again.

Corn was brought back by Zheng He during the Ming Dynasty's voyages to the West. The growing conditions are simple and can be planted in large areas. If corn cultivation is carried out throughout the state and farming is added, it will not be a problem to supply an additional 100,000 troops.

"Father-in-law, Bu wants to set up a trading company for future business dealings with various places. He would like to ask his father-in-law to be the first president of the trading company." Lu Bu wanted to find a position for Yan Lao. After all, he was more reliable.

"The old man is disrespectful, I wonder if this trading company has a name." Old Yan asked.

"It's called Fengxian Trading Company."
